The DYNO Scooby 125 EFi Scooter was recently launched by Inventive Automobiles (Private) Limited. DYNO Scooby 125 Scooters are assembled in Sri Lanka using 14 locally manufactured components under the new Standard Operation Procedures (SOP) imposed by the Ministry of Industries, a news release from the assemblers said last week.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Lester Carron, Director of the Company said, “The DYNO Scooby 125 has key features such as, a high performance 125cc EFi Engine which provides an increased fuel efficiency, front Disc Brake with mechanical ABS for added safety, and a longer wheelbase for increased stability. The Scooter has both electric and kick starter, all of which makes it the ideal vehicle for the entire family. Other features are, Digital meter, more luggage space, higher ground clearance, backed by an attractive introductory price and most importantly an island-wide after sales network makes this the best buy.”

DYNO Scooby 125 is manufactured by Dyno Innovations (Private) Limited and Marketed & Distributed by Inventive Automobiles (Private) Limited. The Six Plastic components of the Scooter such as, Front Mud Guard, Rear Mud Guard, Rear Mud Flap, Two Side Covers and Seat Base are manufactured at the Company’s very own plastic injection moulding factory.

“In this process, we make adjustments to the designs to ensure that the product is improved to a high quality and durable finished product. Other components such as Handlebar, Side Stand, Main Stand, all Seat Brackets and Hinge, Mud Flap Bracket and Grab handle are produced by reputed Sri Lankan suppliers,” the release said.

For the first time in Sri Lanka, the complete Scooter Seat (seat base, hinge, brackets, seat cushion, rubber bumpers, beading and seat cover) is manufactured locally; these components are assembled to produce the perfect DYNO Scooter by skilled technicians, in the assembly facility at Makumbura, Pannipitiya. The vehicle is offered with two comprehensive Free Services as well as a Two-Year or 30,000km warranty.

The Company has plans to introduce many other Scooter models inclusive of electric scooters which are attractively designed with high performance and functionality which we hope to introduce to the market shortly. Carron went on to say that as a Sri Lankan company, their aim is to manufacture more than 60% of the vehicle locally. The opportunity to enter the market with a local value addition model is the first step to achieve their goal.
